Los Angeles Angels Tickets on Sale

The Los Angeles Angels are having a great 2012 to date. They are about to jump to double digit wins over .500 thanks to one of the top ranked scoring offenses and a pitching staff boasting the 7th-best ERA. The batting order is more than simply deep. Center fielder Mike Trout and left fielder Mark Trumbo are carrying the club while the rest of the talented roster regroups. That group includes first baseman Albert Pujols, designated hitter Kendrys Morales, and right fielder Torii Hunter.

Trout and Trumbo are this heading to the All Star Game. Trout is hitting .339 with a .395 and 22 stolen bases and gets to go to the All Star game as the seventh youngest position player in the MLB. Trumbo has hit 20 homeruns with a .312 batting average and a .361 OBP. Pujols, Morales, and Hunter are underperforming as of now, but the Los Angeles Angels are counting on these three to play to their proven capability and catch the Rangers.

The staff has two aces, Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson. Both are All Stars. Weaver has 10 quality starts in 13 games with a 2.31 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Wilson has 13 quality starts in 17 games with a 2.3 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Jerome Williams, Dan Haren, and Ervin Santana are having far from great seasons, but Williams seems to have the most potential. He has 8 quality starts in 12 starts. If one or two of them is able to get it together then the Rangers are in serious trouble. Ernesto Frieri is the new closer, taking over for Scott Downs. Frieri comes over from the San Diego Padres and has been shockingly good since arriving via trade. He has not allowed an ERA in just over 24 innings and has a 0.90 WHIP to go along with his 15.53 K/9. Downs, LaTroy Hawkins, Jason Isringhausen, and Jordan Walden serve as his setup party.

Los Angeles Angels History

The Los Angeles Angels began playing baseball in 1961. For the first four seasons, the Angels actually played in the city. In 1965, the Angels became the California Angels, moving to Anaheim. It would take until 1970 before the Angels began to show signs of life. Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana became fearsome 1-2 combo in the starting rotation.

The Angels would finally reach the MLB playoffs in 1979. This baseball team had a powerful offense. Don Baylor hit DH and won the AL MVP after leading the league with 139 RBI and 120 runs. Catcher Brian Downing, shortstop Bert Campaneris, first baseman Rod Carew, right fielder Dan Ford, and second baseman Bobby Grich. Downing led the league with a .326 batting average and Baylor led the team with 36 home runs. Grich came in second with 30. Despite this loaded offense, the Angels lost 3 game to 1 in the ALCS to the Baltimore Orioles.

The Angels would go to the postseason in 1982 and 1986 as well. It would take some time, but the Anaheim Angels to return to the postseason. The ball club won the 2002 World Series with Mike Scoscia as the manager of the years. The Angels went 99-63 with an offense led by first baseman Troy Glaus, right fielder Tim Salmon, and left fielder Garret Anderson. Ramon Ortiz, Jarrod Washburn and John Lackey led the starting rotation. Over the next seven seasons the Los Angeles Angels went to the postseason six times. They hope to return again and TheSeats has the Angels tickets for the new season.
